I heard on NPR today that ever since authorities spread the word that underage mothers could remain with their babies in foster care, women who previously claimed to be 19 or 20 years old have started producing evidence that they are 17 or younger.
So, the count of infants taken from the ranch is now at 462. Many of them are mothers.
